🌿 Devotion for Divine Embrace 🌿

A sacred act of returning, healing, and resting in God’s eternal love.

🔔 Time: Twilight (either dawn or dusk—when light meets shadow).

🌾 Items Needed:

An alter or space to set up your items
A white candle (representing Christ, the Light of the world)
Incense
A small bowl of pure water cleansed with sea salt (symbolizing the Purified Living Water of Jesus)
A cross or image of Christ (optional)
A piece of bread or cracker and a few drops of olive oil
A clean cloth (white or light blue, symbolizing purity and peace)
Optional: soft instrumental worship music or Gregorian chant

✨ Steps of the devotion:

1. Sanctify the Space

Light the incense and let it burn through the entire ritual. These will be incense of prayers lifted up to the lord (Psalms 141:2).

(Optional) At the end of the ritual leave it lit until it burns all the way down if it is safe to do so.

Begin in silence. Light the white candle and say:

“Let the Light of Christ pierce the darkness, and let peace dwell here.”

Gently sprinkle a few drops of the water around your space, saying:

“This space is made clean, made ready, made holy in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.”

2. Prepare Your Heart

Sit or kneel before the candle and cross. Take the cloth and lay it over your lap or shoulders.
Place your hand over your heart and say:

“O Lord, I am open. I am listening. I am yours.”

Dip your fingers into the water and touch your forehead, lips, and heart, praying:

“Let my thoughts be washed in truth, my words in grace, and my heart in divine love.”

3. Recite the Devotional Prayer

Speak the Devotion for Divine Embrace aloud, slowly and with intention. Imagine each word as a beam of light reaching heaven and returning with divine presence.
As you speak, envision Christ drawing near—His hand outstretched, His eyes filled with mercy.

✨ Devotion for Divine Embrace ✨

By heaven’s throne and sacred breath,
Where life defeats the sting of death,
Let truth resound through time and flame,
And call each soul by holy name.

O seekers lost in shadow’s maze,
O hearts that weep through weary days,
Lift up your eyes, the stars declare—
A Flame, a Force, a Love is there.

The Source of life, the world’s design,
The breath that makes the spirit shine.
In His own image we were made,
And through the Son, the price was paid.

O Jesus Christ, the Anointed One,
Through You, God’s boundless grace has run—
Like rain that falls on deserts dry,
Like morning breaking through the sky.

He is not distant, still, or dim;
His fire now burns in hearts for Him.
Call out His name—let fear depart,
He lifts the veil from every heart.

When burdens rise like mountains steep,
And grief runs dark and cuts too deep,
When lonely winds begin to moan,
His hand will guide—you’re not alone.

Unshaken is the Holy One,
Whose love will not be overcome.
He lifts the low, the lost, the bruised,
Restores the hearts the world refused.

Let miracles now be revealed—
Where death once stood, let peace be sealed.
Where sorrow stormed, let calm arise,
God speaks: “Be still, lift up your eyes.”

Recall the prints upon the sand—
Not yours, but His, by sovereign hand.
When strength was gone and hope was thin,
He carried you and drew you in.

Now speak His name—JESUS, divine,
Not chained by time or bound by line.
Redeemer, Shepherd, Savior true,
Who makes the soul and heart anew.

Let mercy flood where shame once stayed,
Let every doubt and fear now fade.
Let every heart, both near and far,
Feel Heaven pull them like a star.

When night grows long and cries are unheard,
Speak boldly now this holy word:

“Return.”

Return to arms outstretched in grace,
Return to love’s eternal place.
Return to peace that does not cease,
Return to light, return to peace.

So let it echo, wide and free:
So it is written—so let it be.

4. Anoint and Receive

Take the olive oil and anoint your forehead with the sign of the cross, saying:

“By His wounds I am healed. By His mercy I am restored.”

Break the bread or cracker gently in your hands. Hold it before you and say:

“This is the remembrance. This is the promise. This is the embrace that never ends. Thanks be to God”

Eat the bread or cracker reverently as a sacred act of communion. Let this be a symbol of Jesus’ closeness and nourishment of your soul.

5. Rest in Silence

Remain in silence for several minutes. Let the warmth of the candle, the stillness of the space, and the whisper of the Spirit settle into your being.

If emotions rise—tears, joy, peace—let them come. This is holy ground.

6. Closing Prayer

Say this to close:

“Jesus, my Savior, You are near. You are here. Let Your light remain within me. Let Your Spirit awaken me. And when the world grows cold or the night grows long, remind me: I am Yours. Amen.”
